can you give some details about the enclosure, size, temps? Do you have any hides? What are you trying to feed your beardy? How old is he?
I wouldn't worry too much he is probably still settling down in his new home it can take them a while to settle in. Beardies particularly seem to dislike changes in their lives. If there is nothing vivably wrong and he seems happy enough and alert, don't worry for a for more days! [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]

Sounds ok, just give hime time! Also try putting some veggis in he might nibble those when your not around, he might also go for a couple of wax worms too!
Good luck and congratulations!

Stormyva is right....
Variety in their diet is the best for them.... My newest babies, that are now 3 months old, have been eating romaine, parsely, kale, collard greens, mustard greens, shredded carrots, crickets, wax worms and mealworms. I don't keep my basking temps that high for my babies. I don't let it get over 100 degrees, with their cool spot around 85 degrees. I also give them plenty of basking areas (high and low)for a different temperature range, with at least 2 hides (one in hot and cold areas). And paper towels as a substrate.
And I also agree that it will take a few days for s/he to settle in. Just make sure that he is bright and alert!
Another thing is that since s/he is new you really should make a wellness check up with your chosen herp vet to insure that s/he does not have any parasites.
Just a suggestion.... [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_razz.gif[/img]

I found this the other day over at Reptile Rooms.... it is a "salad" recipe for your beardies.

Sound like a very tasty salad, I just may have to share with the beardies [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]
